ANoKA, Minn., Dec. 13.-A feud of
long standing between Robert Mahaney,
manager of the city omnibus line, and
c. A. Little, one of the proprietOrs of
the street railway, caused the former to
have Little arrested Monday on charge
of obstructing the street. with snow.
etc. Little had a hearing before Justice
Fitch. who thought he. did not have
sufficient jurisdiction in. the case, and
placed the prisoner under 500 bond,
which, not being Forthcoming, he was
taken in charge by the sheriff. Ham
mons Il HammOnds, his attorneys, to-
day secured a writ ofi,habeas corpus
from Minneapolis court, and propose
to test the legality of Mahaney's pro-
ceedings. The suit thus commenced is
expected to be somewhat exciting, to
say the least, and developments are
awaited with interest.

engaged as follows: Catchers: Fuller,
Mills and Warner; pitchers: Ferson,
HOrner and Shenkel; Pettee, second
base; Forster, short stop; Strauss, third
base; Lowe, left field; DAWN, center
field, and Maskrey, right field. | am
waiting to hear from another pitcher
and a first baseman, which, when en-
gagged, will complete the team. | will
say nothing regarding what they will do
next year. but will let Kansas City, DeS
Moines and st. Paul do all the pennant
winning through the papers this winter
and try and do ours on the grass next
season. Winter championships are not
always satisfactory along about July. L
see by several papers that Milwaukee
would be glad to be the eighth club in
the American association. You may
say that Milwaukee would not, uuder
any circumstances, at present accept
the offer, were it rendered, as l consider
the Western association a great organ
iZatiOn, and, as l was really the
author O. it, l propose to stand
by it. | trust that by the time this
reaches you the arbitration committee
will have recognized our strength, and
have accorded us the protection that we
certainly deserve. If you read the base
ball columns of the st. Paul papers last
summer and observed how regularly
they remarked that the Milwaukee team
had but one, or at most, two good play
ers (Maskrey and BrOughton), you must
smile now when you notice the names
of Morrissey and Anderson in the list
for IS. have no regret at losing the
men, and have 10 feeling in the matter
as far as MorriSsey is concerned. but
will say that Anderson broke his word
to me and proved himself an migrate of
the most pronounced type.
Mr.. Hart should not forget while
smiling that the st. Paul papers have no
more notion of indOrsing MOrrissey and
Anderson now than they had when they
wore Milwaukee uniforms.

AN EARNEST PROTEST
Against the Reduction of the
Tariff on Lead or Lead Ores.


SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec 13.-
The chamber of commerce of Salt Lake
City have adopted the following protest
against the reduction on lead or lead
ores:
Resolved, By the chamber of COM
merce of Salt Lake City, Utah, that we
earnestly protest against any reduction
of the existing tariff duties on imported
lead or lead ores. Such reduction would
ruin thousands of our people, cause the
lead and silver mines in this territory,
worth $50, ,000, 900 and producing $780,
600 annually, with all the ore dressing
and smelling plant, to become total
loss; reduce the freight earnings of the
Utah railroads 30 per cent; throw. q
multitude of wOrkingmen out of employ
ment; paralyZe our industries and set
back the growth of the territory many
years. There can be no object gained
by reducing the duties on these pro-
ducts sufficient to justify so enormous
all injury to our people. A correspond
ing injury would, by these reductions,
be inflicted OH the people of all the min
ing states and territories, and the reduc-
ton of the silver and lead smelling
would reduce the annual production OF
precious metals i'm the United States
S3,000,000. 1t would also materially re-
duce the entire buSineS of the East with
the whole mining region, and thus affect
the freight earnings of all the railroads
of the country.
The board OF directors was authorized
to take such action for the protection OF
industries mentioned as may be neces-
Sary.

CARNOT'S MESSAGE.
The Presidents Message Received
With Satisfaction.

PARIS, Dec. 13.-President Carnot
sent his message to the chambers to-
day. In it he says he is fully sensible
of the honor conferred q upon him by his
election to the presidency, and of the
great duties entrusted to him. His ap-
pointment clearly proclaims that parlia-
ment has resolved to put aside all
causes for disagreement. that the re-
gard for the vital interests OF the cOun-
try and the legitimate influence abroad,
calls for representatives devoted
to the nation and animated
by patriotism. For him, upon
whom has fallen the honor of uniting the
suffrages of the different factions, the
first duty is to show that he himself is
penetrated with the spirit of concord.
He then will endeavOr to maintain har-
mony with appeasement, security and
confidence. The government hopes to
assure to the country steady progress,
practical reforms, calculated to encour-
age industry, strengthen credit, produce
a revival of business and the prepara-
tiOnS being made for the great indus
trial exhibition in 1899. The govern
ment desires to give consideration to the
measures affecting labor, public hygiene
and national thrift, and it especially
wishes to study and improve the flnan-
cial condition to the effect of equilibrium
between the revenue and expenditure,
and simplify the administrative and
judicial systems. The government
also desires to give share of
its attention to land and seafarers.
1t is for the chambers to
endow the government with the power
to execute this programme, which will
procure for the country a lasting era of
peaceable, fruitful activity, and thus
give Europe pledge of the ardent de-
sire of France to strengthen the general
peace and assist in the development of
the good relations between powers.
Strong in your support the government
will be vigilant and resOlute guardian
of the constitution and laws of
France. Thus, respected abroad, calm,
prosperous at home, the nation will be
able to prepare for the fitting celebra
ton of the great coming century. The
message was well received. After it
had been read the chambers adjourned
until Thursday. Tirard, prime minis
ter and minister of finance, will intro
duce a bill asking for provisional
budget for three months.
